I'm a bit late at these things and it seems that everyone now has a x2010. I was wondering how you duplicate cars, i know that you stick in the usb and then save your account to your usb and then what? I moved the file to another account and when i pasted the file to a new account and ran the GT5 it wont let me use the file. Please help. Everyone seems to be doing it.
 
Copy gamefile to USB
Start game
Gift car to dupe account
Exit game
Restore backup file from USB
Enter dupe account
Gift car to main account
Tadaa...you have now duped your car
 
Please help. Everyone seems to be doing it.

So, everyone is doing it so you have to get an X1 too ?

You're right, get an X1, use it in A and B spec and make the GT5 experience even more bad than what it is.
I hope your driving skills in GT5 are a little bit better than figuring out how to duplicate a car with a data save...
 
You dont even need to copy to usb drive, you can copy your save file to another ps3 profile you have. After you done all ur trading and what not, go back and send it back.

Sorry but I've got 3 X1 already. I've got two from Special event and one from B spec reaching 35. Please dont post if you have only negative things to say. I want to make the game better by driving different cars with different set-up with different style of driving like drifting and power sliding.

Oh wait, let me think 1 minute, I think PD did something for that... Oh yeah it's called playing the game, racing offline or online and buying whatever car please you (if you can get it in the used dealer).

I dont think PD did the whole copy-restore data system to extend the cars in your garage.
 
It’s easier to delete and restore the duplication account, because then you still have the car after you gift it to yourself in the USB copy. Also makes it less likely you’ll screw up and lose your main file.

Why does it matter to you how other people choose to play their game..? Just wondering.
 
When I try to gift a car to my second account it doesn't show up on my list of friends???

You need to actually open up GT5 on that account and go through the setup I think, otherwise your name won't show up on that list.

Not sure what you mean, even if you restore your 2nd accnt after gifting it to your main accnt, you cant send it because of the 1 day gifting limit.
 
I duplicated a lambo to a friend and in my restored save, it fails to show the cars thumbnail :P lolwat

The new 1.05 update lets you back up the save data. As long as you use it on the same psn account.
 
You can gift a ticket as an item then you have duplicate tickets that will produce random cars.

I backed up my saved data to my USB travel drive when I got the 1000 ticket but before I used it. I then copied it to a file on my computer for safe keeping. Now I can cash the ticket and save to travel drive then transfer to computer. Whatever the car is I put the saved data file in a folder by that name. Then reload the 1000 ticket save, lather, rinse, repeat. Now I have quite a stable on my computer that I can load to my main account and gift to slave account then return to master at the one a day gifting rate. So many cool cars! I gifted the ticket to the slave as well but it is at day one and seems to get many more common cars than my master save which is on day 465 but with a very beefed up garage thanks to some early birthday gifting before the one a day limit.
I did get a corupt file message when I moved the file from USB stick to computer but when I just copy the files back and forth overwriting existing file it works perfectly.
 
Oh then I'm mistaking this for the "Gift-A-Car-To-One-Of-Your-Friends-But-Still-Keep-It" glitch.

Can I has X1? and a Cookie? :D
 
I don't see the need for duping anymore, with the amount of money you can earn in the seasonals. Just do those and save up for what ever car you want. And not feel the need to cheat the game.

You might have been better off searching or posting this in the Marketplace forum. Nevertheless, did you get all your answers? The one thing I would add is if you do this and create a 2nd account, get another USB drive to back up that account.
